Heads up, GOG users: The storefront has announced that cloud savesexceeding the default allocation of 200MB per game will be deleted on August 31, because they’re just taking up too damn much space.

Cloud saves are simply saved games that are stored remotely rather than on your PC. They’re a handy way to access an ongoing game across multiple devices, or to pick up where you left off if you decide to reinstall an old game. It’s also handy protection against hardware failure: Your hard drive might die, but the cloud is forever. Well, except when it’s not.

“As the size and number of games increase, so does the demand for Cloud Storage,” GOG said in a warning about the upcoming trim. “These limits ensure that all players have access to sufficient and manageable space for their …

One might conclude that a view of the future where Humanity has taken not just itself down, but every other form of life on earth with it, as “pessimistic” and “depressing,” and it probably is. No worries, though, as the artful developers over at Piccolo Studio are making After Us about a surreal post-human world where Gaia, the  mother of all life herself, explores to salvage the souls of all animals and return life to Earth.

Announced last year at The Game Awards, After Us now has a gameplay trailer and firm release date in just a couple months: May 23, 2023.

“Explore the corners of a surrealistic post-human world to give life on Earth a second chance in this touching story about sacrifice and hope Play as Gaia, the Spirit of Life, and navigate stunning platforming en…

Sometimes at CES, you discover someone who’s doing the Lord’s work, providing answers to questions we’ve all had at some point in our lives such as: “Why are we here? Why do bad things happen to good people? How would this anime smell like?” Japan-based startup Aromajoin’s mission is to answer the latter query with the AromaPlayer and the Aroma Shooter Wearable.

According to the company, the AromaPlayer is the “world’s first scented video platform” that works in concert with Aromajoin’s Aroma Shooter, an aroma diffuser that will shoot smells into your face to match what’s on screen. Instead of liquids or gas, like a typical aroma diffuser, the Aroma Shooter uses “solid-state” cartridges which Aromajoin claims provide a better, longer smell. AromaPlayer lets you load a clip and eng…

As well as showing off new graphics card prototypes with all new kinds of super cooling arrays slapped on them, MSI has also given us a preview of its new Gaming X Slim line of cards at Computex this year. 

We’ve been told that it is launching these cards “later this year” and that they will be covering GPUs from the whole Nvidia RTX 40-series range as it stands today. That means it will be shipping on everything from the RTX 4060 Ti up to the RTX 4090. 

Presumably also the RTX 4060 when that launches in July, too.

None of that is what’s got me irrationally angry, however. No, it’s because our Jacob has been walking the sweaty halls of Computex out in Taipei and sent back this news, which immediately grabbed my attention. I’ve been hankering for new single sl…

Good people, I have a confession to make. I have long since abandoned any expectation of seeing another Titanfall game. Between the success of Apex Legends (which is set, if you didn’t know, in the Titanfall universe) and the lacklustre sales of Titanfall 2, I figured the series was doornail-dead, usurped by its battle royale successor. But maybe there’s still reason to hope.

In a chat with Barron’s, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella was asked about the possibility of a Titanfall 3, and seemed pretty receptive to the idea. “I hate to say yes, then people latch onto that, and then skewer you when it doesn’t come,” said Zampella, “But I would love to see it happen is the real answer”.

Before you get too excited, Zampella clarified that Respawn isn’t “working on anything currently” an…
